Discover the key traits of community founders, how to craft a good vision statement and get an understanding of the social dynamics and skills development for building a healthy culture. You’ll learn decision-making, conflict resolution, and membership process design and recruitment. As well as economics and (including income sharing) sustainability, property search, legal considerations and business planning basics.
You need to put in a lot of work to start an intentional community. With her years of community building experience, Yana guides you through key questions on why (and why not) to start one, and how to create a lasting community. She’ll share 15 spectrums that help define what kind of community you’re creating, with examples of the wide range of intentional community types. You’ll also gain insight into why some intentional communities fail so you can avoid those pitfalls when creating your own community.
